Cristiano Ronaldo was thrilled with his hat trick as he helped Real Madrid to crush Ajax.

Ajax were swept aside at home by the Spanish giants, with Ronaldo netting his first treble in the Champions League and second in four days.

"It was a very complete game on our part and it's very important for the next match to boost confidence," Ronaldo said in an interview with Spanish television.
"Scoring three goals is important for me and I am very happy."
